The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

When Kallen hurried back to the Destiny Camp, she saw that everything was as usual here, except that the atmosphere was a little inexplicably tense. At the same time, the black clouds above her head gradually dispersed, as if a lavender filter was added to the sky. Honkai Energy's When it became clear that the build-up was dissipating, she felt half relieved.

The passages between the tents were full of soldiers running around. The sergeants were holding pamphlets and shouting the names of their soldiers. But almost every time a name was read, many hands would be raised high. This made The scene became even more chaotic.

Kallen shook her head, the worry that had just been suppressed resurfaced in her heart. Until now, she still doesn't understand what happened, but judging from the current situation in the camp, if the Ming army launches an attack at this moment, the only ones who can quickly launch a counterattack will be the Valkyrie troops led by her. ?

She jumped up to the top of the military tent, tapped her toes on the joint of the wooden frame, looked in the direction in her memory, and quickly found a flag in the middle of the camp.

The one in the center is naturally the banner of destiny. It is unclear whether the pattern in the center of the flag evolved from the crown of laurel leaves or the crossed wheat ears. The "Salvation" flag of the Kaslana family closely follows the Destiny flag - according to regulations, the default assembly point of the most elite Valkyrie troops is under the Destiny flag.

After determining the direction, Kallen's entire body's center of gravity sank downwards. With the help of the elasticity exerted by the concave wooden frame of the military tent, Kallen jumped up and landed under the banner of destiny in a few bounces. However, here It was extremely empty, and there was no sign of the Valkyrie troops.

"Huh? Kallen?"

"Uncle Luca!"

Seeing Kallen walking toward him menacingly, the corners of Luca Kaslana's eyes twitched crazily, and she instinctively wanted to retreat. Compared with other Kaslanas, Luca's character is relatively weak. If his brother Francis hadn't died unexpectedly in battle, he would not have wanted to take over the responsibility of the patriarch of the Kaslana family, and he would not have been involved in this crime. It was destined to be a futile expedition from the beginning.

But now, all his patience has long been exhausted. He does not seek to defeat Akito at all. He just wants to reach a reconciliation with Akito in a more equal manner to preserve the Kaslana family with withering talents. Therefore, when he saw Bishop Nicholas's letter, he approved the plan without hesitation.

He also knew that his niece, who upheld all the "fine traditions" of the Kaslana family, would never approve of this plan, but she happened to be the captain of the Valkyrie Army. If she didn't nod, the plan would not be implemented at all.

Fortunately, Otto patted his chest and promised to keep Kallen... But now...

Luka pursed his lips, having scolded Otto countless times in his heart. Facing Kallen who was approaching him with a serious look on his face, he had no choice but to show a haggard smile - okay, Kallen arrived ten minutes late. The Valkyrie troops had already launched a counterattack under the leadership of deputy captain Eleanor. What he needed to worry about now was how to help Otto get over this matter.

"Karen... the situation was urgent just now. I have asked Eleanor to lead the attack first."

To be honest, people in the Kaslana family are not suitable for lying, even if Luca's character is not very typical of Kaslana, this is still the case. But Kallen, who was also Kaslana, didn't seem to notice this. She looked at Luca's haggard and abnormal face, and her aura softened a little, but she still raised her face stubbornly, but her tone was not so sharp:

"Uncle Luca...Marshal, what happened? Where is the Valkyrie unit? What is its mission?"

Luka turned around, no longer looking at Karen, but turned his gaze to the east, where the Ming Army's company camp was located, and said calmly:

"The truth is, I don't know what happened."

Sometimes people will find that lying is not difficult. Lies need to be woven into a web with more lies to get as close to the truth as possible, but this is just tiring, and it is not difficult in the final analysis.

"There was trouble in the Akito Camp itself... Eleanor happened to be conducting reconnaissance missions around the area. The information she reported back was that many people in the Akito Camp had been transformed into dead soldiers, so..."

As the frontline commander of Destiny, Luca naturally has the final say in all military operations. He is indeed not good at lying, but there is a huge information gap between him and Kallen, and he can get away with it no matter what.

Karen did believe it. The information she had access to was not enough to falsify Luca's words, but...

But just because the Kaslana family is straight doesn't mean they are fools.

Kallen's intuition told her that there was something fishy behind this, and she did make any inference to prove Luca's lies, so she skipped this question and went straight to the most critical step:

"So you ordered the Valkyrie to attack? Then, Marshal, what is the mission you gave to the Valkyrie troops? Is it to fulfill their duties and eliminate Honkai, even if those who are being attacked by Honkai are the enemies of destiny, or... Take this opportunity to draw something out of the fire and inflict heavy damage on Akito to turn the tide of the war?"

Luka was silent, so Kallen got the answer to the question effortlessly. Based on this, it is no longer important how the previous Honkai energy deposition phenomenon occurred.

"Okay, Uncle Luca, I'm going to the front line."

"Wait a minute, Kallen!"

Luka stamped his feet, and the armor on his body collided, making a series of crisp sounds.

Although Karen didn't explicitly say what she was going to do on the front line, the change in her title actually explained everything. Luka Kaslana felt that the subtext of why she no longer called herself Marshal was nothing more than:

"I no longer recognize you as the frontline commander of the Destiny Army. As the captain of the Valkyrie Army, I no longer accept all orders you give, including orders that have been given before."

Fortunately, Luca still has one last trick up his sleeve——

"Karen, of course you can make the decision you think is right. As Kaslana, I will not stop you. But before you leave here and go to the front line to take over the command of the Valkyrie troops, can you listen to me again? Can you, my uncle, say a few words? "

Luka took off his gauntlet and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. After all, Kallen was the child he had watched since childhood. He was confident that as long as he said the following words, even if he could not stop Kallen from going to the front line, he could still make her go to the front line. Choose to obey orders.

As for whether Kallen would stop and listen to him?

Although she is walking away step by step indifferently, but if she really wants to rush to the front line, such a speed is too leisurely, right?

"...five, six, seven, eight——"

Luka smiled bitterly and counted Kallen's steps in a low voice. Finally, after taking the eighth step, Kallen stopped.

"Uncle Luca, I can listen to what you have to say, but I also have a question to ask you first."

"Um?"

"Is the previous Honkai abnormality related to Otto?"

"Hmm? Hmm! How is it possible? Otto just arrived here yesterday, and... weren't you together when the abnormal phenomenon occurred?"

Luka denied it without thinking. Karen nodded when she heard the words, took a deep breath, and turned around:

"So, Uncle Luca, what else do you want to say to me?"

"Karen..."

Staring into the same blue eyes as his own, Luka did not give in anymore this time:

"Karen, do you know what will happen once Destiny is defeated?"

…………

"stop!"

As Eleanor raised her left hand, the Valkyries quickly stopped running, and no one asked why.

Eleanor quickly squatted down and peeled away the knee-high weeds in front of her. As expected, the position where her toes stepped was used as the dividing line, followed by normal-colored black soil, and further forward, close to the Ming army In the camp, purple light was emitting from the cracks in the soil. This made her couldn't help but pinch the ends of her hair. Pink and silver intertwined there, and finally exuded the same lavender color as Honkai energy.

"The deposition of Honkai energy is more serious than what Otto-sama predicted."

After all, Eleanor was the only S-class Valkyrie destined to be born. She could make a judgment at just one glance - the intensity of Honkai energy in the area in front of her was obviously beyond the endurance of most Valkyries. If she continued to launch the attack according to the original plan...

what to do? Is it to delay the attack time, or...

Eleanor grabbed a handful of soil mixed with purple light and stood up with a spear. If it were Kallen, she would definitely choose to do this, but she is not Kallen. Lord Otto made it clear that she After staying on the front line for so long, I understand even more clearly that this operation may be the only chance to turn the tide of the war - we must not fail!

Besides, we are now less than a mile away from the Ming army camp, how could we just give up!

"All B-class Valkyries stay in place, waiting for follow-up reinforcements. The remaining A-class Valkyries regroup and continue the attack!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the front soles of her feet had sunk deeply into the soil, and then her whole body was ejected at high speed by the reaction force of kicking on the ground. The other A-class Valkyries also followed suit. They kept reducing the width of their formation while running, filling each other's gaps left by the B-class Valkyries.

But to be honest, what Eleanor made was not a rational decision, because the essence of Valkyrie's level evaluation is based on seniority, merit and combat effectiveness, and has no absolute relationship with Honkai Impact adaptability. It can only be said that she can If you become an A-level Valkyrie, your Honkai Impact adaptability will not be too bad. But as the Valkyries gradually deepened, the accumulated Honkai energy became stronger and stronger. It was a certainty that some Valkyries would not be able to withstand the erosion of Honkai energy.

Eleanor herself understands this. There is never time for a person to make an absolutely rational decision on the battlefield. What's more, her choice to do so is not without more considerations-compared to combat experience, which is generally more There are fewer B-level Valkyries, and A-level Valkyries have experienced more battles, and naturally they have experienced more...

"ah!"

The Valkyrie who was following Eleanor on her right let out a cry of pain. She tilted her head and saw that she was gritting her teeth and continuing to run, but the black air was already wrapped around her like a ribbon, and her exposed skin was also... It turned gray and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, and regular purple lines began to spread on her left arm.

"Annas!"

Eleanor waved the spear in her hand without hesitation, and sharp barbs suddenly appeared on the dark handle of the gun, sucking a little of her blood. Then the tip of the gun lit up with a faint white light, and Eleanor took advantage of the opportunity to stab it into Anna. The left arm was the most severely eroded.

But the gun in her hand was completely powerless against such a situation. Anas was also aware of this, but when she opened her mouth to say something, in Eleanor's eyes, she only saw her opening her mouth full of fangs, letting out a meaningless roar, and her eyes were filled with violence. The light...

Eleanor did not hesitate any longer, and with a sudden force of her bloody hands, Black Abyss White Flower easily stabbed through her hopeless comrade, and then exploded into flesh and blood flying in the sky with a "pop".

And she didn't even look at the situation of others, because this was the unspoken rule between the Valkyries, the unspoken rule that Kallen could not refute - instead of watching her comrades become "enemies", it would be better to give them a happy. This is something that every A-level Valkyrie has experienced. They may be extremely resistant in their hearts, but no one will hesitate when taking action - because those who have hesitated are already dead.

Although she was slightly delayed by this incident, the distance of one mile was only five minutes for ordinary people running at full speed. Eleanor rushed to the trench outside the Ming army camp in almost the blink of an eye. .

From this distance, it was enough to clearly see the face of the bright sentry on the sentry tower, but it was empty and there was no human figure at all, and the hidden sentry who didn't know where it was lurking didn't sound any alarm - it seemed that everything went smoothly.

The corners of Eleanor's mouth curled up. While easily jumping over the three trenches, she used the influence of gravity to hit the wall that the Destiny Army could not completely destroy with its artillery.

The huge sound and violent shaking made people almost suspect that an earthquake had occurred. The wall in front of Eleanor was shattered immediately. The aftermath of the impact swept everything behind the wall, whether it was tents or weeds, into the air. The cracks It stretched forward from Eleanor's feet until it was lost from sight.

"Huh? How could..."

Eleanor sullenly rushed into the Ming army's camp. However, there was no sleeping place for the dead as she had imagined. The entire camp was almost empty. There were a few corpses on the roadside, all bathed in the blazing fire. In the flames, she wanted to feel the flames up close, but her body instinctively resisted her approach.

"Is this a bait?"

It couldn't be more obvious. The most basic point is that after entering the Ming army camp, the reaction of Honkai energy is not as strong as before. Close your eyes and feel it carefully. You can even feel the pull of Honkai energy by a strange force. down, slowly gathering in a certain direction.

Eleanor tasted it for a while before she gradually understood that this was the other person pointing the direction for her.

"Damn it! Are you looking down on people so much?"

Eleanor gritted her teeth and eliminated the option of "retreat" from her mind.

"Six hundred yards ahead, outflank formation!"

She took the lead and commanded the Valkyrie troops to rush to the location that the other party could point to. In fact, it was only a few steps away. They came to a field that had been leveled long ago, which was probably the school ground where the Ming army ordered their troops.

There were only two figures in the school grounds, and Eleanor recognized one of them, the commander of the Ming army whom she had seen countless times on the battlefield. At this time, he was bowing slightly and standing respectfully behind a woman.

The woman had a wide robe and long sleeves, her bangs almost covered half of her face, and her long hair was pulled into a high ponytail behind her head. She sat calmly on a plain chair, holding hot tea in her hand, without even raising her eyes to look at these destined Valkyries.

"Look, our guests are here."

She skimmed the tea foam with the cup lid and said lazily.

"Gulu..."

The commander-in-chief of the Ming Army swallowed, "One S-level Valkyrie, twenty-three A-level Valkyries, and they should have an S-level Valkyrie. Immortal, can you deal with them?"

The immortal chuckled, took a sip of tea, and said slowly:

"It doesn't matter, Xiao Wang, please leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

The commander-in-chief of the Ming army nodded vigorously, picked up his legs and ran away. Eleanor made a look, and the two Valkyries immediately chased after him, while the other Valkyries formed a loose encirclement with tacit understanding.

The battlefield was suddenly enveloped in silence, with only the sound of the "immortal" sipping tea.

Eleanor couldn't figure out where this person came from, and she didn't dare to issue any attack orders. However, there were no ambushes around, which made her feel relieved. After all, it seemed that a group of them had surrounded the person in front of them. "Immortal".

After a while, the "immortal" sighed:

"Alas... I brewed this tea a little late. It seems I won't be able to finish it this time..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she shook her wrist imperceptibly, and the whole teacup was shot at Eleanor without any warning, but the latter was an S-class Valkyrie after all. She put the spear in front of her in time, and the teacup was The moment the lamp and soul steel came into contact, they exploded into a cloud of white dust, and even the tea dissipated in the form of gas. Even for a complete layman, it is not difficult to see the superb skill of that "immortal".

But this is not important, not only to Eleanor, but also to the fairy.

The fairy's eyelids trembled. She looked at the spear in Eleanor's hand, then at the color of her hair, and suddenly said:

"Black Abyss White Flower...are you a Shaniyat?"
